- Manage and mentor a team of cybersecurity professionals, fostering leadership and talent development.
- Evaluate new technologies, tools, and methodologies in the IAM landscape to ensure leading-edge solutions.
- Maintain a strong grasp of the latest developments in IAM standards, protocols, and regulatory changes.

- Experience working within IAM frameworks and standards, such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CSA.
- Deep knowledge of security principles related to identity management, access control, and authentication protocols (e.g., OAuth, SAML, Kerberos).
- Proven experience in integrating IAM practices with broader IT security strategies, ensuring seamless alignment and interoperability.
- Ability to effectively communicate complex concepts to diverse stakeholders, including executives and technical teams, translating technical IAM requirements into business outcomes.
- Experience in managing IAM-related regulatory compliance requirements and best practices, ensuring adherence to standards such as GDPR and HIPAA.
- One or more certifications related to IAM or cybersecurity is a plus: Certified IAM Professional (CIAM), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Certified Information Security Manager (CISM).
- 10+ years of full-time dedicated experience in cybersecurity roles with a focus on IAM.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred or additional relevant professional experience.
